is that how you got it?
Looks like it already lowered a bit.
Not sold on those wheels... But thats just me
any plans for it?

Congrats on the purchase, and yes, it's definitely lower then stock already (yet doesn't look stupidly low, which is good!). Agree with dylan8 on the wheels - a shame you can't swap the Mk3 cabbie wheels onto it! Never fear, good quality OEM wheels come up on here semi-regularly, you'll get a decent set of replacement wheels soon I'm sure

Hard to tell from the pics, but does it have an aftermarket exhaust on it too? Is it on coils - ride height looks pretty good ...

That tint looks DARK as - very stealth (apart from the wheels ...)

Edit: Those wheels really suit the Mk3.

Awesome purchase! Love the colour and the stance

What colour are the seat inserts? Red, blue or gray?

Thanks for the comments.....
As you see it is how i purchased it and yes i'm not happy with the wheels. Been looking at the 18X8 GTI or Audi A8 wheels for replacemants. Its been lowered on pedders suspension(Coils have sagged and struts are stuffed) but full set of Coilovers are in the mail and should be fitted by next weekend. Ride hight will remain about the same as it is now except the rear might drop a little. Whiteline 22mm under CV swaybar will be fitted on the front for clearence reasons. The Exhaust is sports with cannon but the sound is nice. Tryin to track down a Forge BoV/Recirc as it just Atom's at the moment and i'm not chancing the ECU. It has the red insert Recaro's speed..... looks amazing. Love the tint to death till the sun goes down.
Plans are front mount Intercooler, cold air induction and some ECU work but after some regular tidy ups are done. Missing front left bumper grille, centre rear headrest, some woodgrain bits for the left side stereo and the door ones are cracked.
Upgrade stereo(Already started)\

I will be headed down to the nationals in sydney so i've got some work service stuff i want to get done before the run.

Thanks

I didn't notice the sunroof at first glance. Looks like a sweet buy with some sensible mods on the way.
Re the wheels, I love my aristo's.

Best of luck and keep us posted.

It's funny how you get almost the perfect ride height from stuffed suspension (for a while at least) - I had King springs and they sagged with time and my car sat lower than it does on the Bilsteins ... re. stereo upgrade - I've been looking at upgrading maybe just to a Multimedia type set-up without a disc player, but everything I look at is shiny black and just doesn't seem to suit the OEM feel I want to keep.

Cheers.

I too like the aristo's but..... i dunno.. thinking of Y spokes now like on my Cabbie.


I bought a JVC cd player with bluetooth. The main reason was the fact i can change the colour of the LED and surround to match the Dash. Rear USB charges iPhone/iPod and i'm thinking if thats the case a USB 1Tb harddrive would work just as well.

Maybe a LCD screen to play Vid's on too, but got my eye on a JL audio SUb and amp.... The factory speakers are awesome.....

Great features and not bad price
